Life is seductively comfortable for Franklin and Beth in their luxury 47th floor apartment.

A funny and piercing allegory for our times byStephen Sewell, whose Myth, Propaganda and Disaster in Nazi Germany and Contemporary America packed the Orange Tree in 2004 and won more awards than any play in Australian history.
